I was out looking for a Glock 26 (all the local shops are apparently out of them) and got convinced to take another look at the gen5 G19. It was the one that came with Ameriglo sights. He said he'd knock a small % off if I paid cash... it was enough to tip me over the edge, so I did.

Congrats on your Gen 19.5, you’re going to be very happy, I’m sure, I know I am with my 19.5 and 17.5 enjoy your gun, I’m a ambi shooter and really appreciate the anbi controls Glock has put into these Gen 5’s, and they work well, and much better than most ambi guns out there, Enjoy your Gen 5

I'm invested too.I just bough talon grips, a new sight pusher and Ameriglo sites for my G19... Still on the fence about buying another holster...I hope I can sell my PPS in classifieds to fund another Glock project. Was thinking of getting a LE trade in and just shoot the snot out of it.... Hmmmmmmmm

Shot the G43 with the wife the other day. Using 147 FMJ standard pressure, it was a little blasty with some flip, but not any worse than my G27.Put on a Hogue slip on grip, and that little pistol feels very nice now. She better keep her eyes on it.

The G26 without the finger grove........... DAYUM SON!That made a world of difference in how secure it feels in my hand. I really need a pinky extension when I shoot the Gen 4 but I get a better grip with only two fingers on the Gen 5. It's be my next purchase.

You said the 19X is awesome. You said the 19X feels great in the hand.You said the 19X trigger is superior.You said the 19X looks SO much better than in the pictures.

I said, "I will buy one when the come in black".

BUT, I went to the gun show today not intending to buy ANYTHING.I saw one, it looked great.I held one, it felt great, a full grip with no finger grooves.I said I disliked the Gen 4 grip texture, don't even notice that with the 19X.Told myself if I could find one for $600 TT&L out the door, I'd buy one.Prices ranged from $555 to $750.Paid $601 w/tax with a check that has been in my wallet for 2 years.Paying by check kept me the cash price.

Here it is, I love it.Bought an extra short mag for it as well.

With the M tailless back strap it fits my hand perfectly.I'll probably pull the lanyard ring.
